Is this camera good with moving objects, i.e. sports or animals?

My experience so far is that your subject needs to be fairly statonary, but I haven't had ths camera very long so I need more experience with it.

Picture quality is pretty good, it lags a little like watching a video in slow motion. I use it to watch a puppy at home while we're away, and it's sufficient for that.

I do not know if there is specifically a setting for sports, however I have used the camera for grandsons football games and the pictures have come out very nice, quite clear. Not sure about auto racing, cycling. I really enjoy this camera and it does for me what I need it to do,,,,

Yes, This camera is perfect for fast moving object but you have to take good lens for this.

Once you learn how to use the camera, it can be good for moving kids. However, it does take a moment to focus and you need to learn the nuances of operating the camera to improve the focus ability. It does have a sport setting which will take several photos in succession.

Unless you want to set a time to record, it will use motion detection to record. It is very sensitive. Mine picks up cats and sometimes wind blowing tree limbs.

The camera does well for both because there are specific camera settings (night/low light and sports/action). I took great shots at our bonfire the other night and the sports/action setting takes multiple shots per second. I have never been disappointed with this camera.

I haven't tried it on sporting events so can't really comment but I would be concerned about the speed resulting in blurred shots.

I though the camera was good for water pictures. Wouldn't use it for any other reason. Pic to pic time is average and once you turn it on it is ready to go.

it is fairly stiff..it's not going to hold shape for action sports or anything but you would be able to walk without sudden movements with a go pro or cam of that sort i would think.

I use the Bushnell 8mp Trophy Camera as a security camera, in addition to using it for photos of wildlife around our property. It works so well that we have several. Easy to use. Yes, would recommend as a security camera.

I have not but if this is your main reason for the camera I would not get this one. I noticed it does not have a sports setting. Also it depends on the environment you are shooting in, bright outdoors it will probably be okay but it has a small lens and sensor so i would not want to use it indoors. Also distance is important...closer the better.

Would this work well for recording athletic events - higher speed action shots?

No, this is a very cheap and worthless action camera. If you are looking for an action camera I suggest you spend the extra money and buy a GoPro.

Yes, you can get both, and also motion detection. The motion detection isn't perfect but 95% works. (it saves files of 5 minutes) Sometimes u get it recoring for a very little thing moving (an insect) and sometimes (few times) it starts "late" (when movement was already started earlier). Anyway, in my case, im very happy with the camera.

I got this as a gift for my brother, so I have not really worked with it. It would be hard to capture good actions shots, I would think unless you were really close up and held the camera really still or put on a tripod. I finally broke down and bought a Canon Rebel SLR to take photos at football games. Even with that you need the additional telephoto lens and set it to TV mode, but of course, it is a lot more expensive. My brother loves this one for general picture taking.

NOOOOO!You would be lucky to have it focus in time to capture the action. I originally bought this camera to take action photos of my sons's high school football games. I could not have been more disappointed. I returned this camera.
